        <h2>Performance</h2>
        <p>
      The envelope is in the range 0 to 1 and may need to be scaled further. The envelope may be described as:
      </p>
        <div class="mediaobject">
          <img src="images/adsr.png" alt="Picture of an ADSR envelope." />
          <div class="caption">
            <p>Picture of an ADSR envelope.</p>
          </div>
        </div>
        <p>
    </p>
        <p>
       The length of the sustain is calculated from the length of the note. This means <span class="emphasis"><em>adsr</em></span> is not suitable for use with MIDI events. The opcode <a class="link" href="madsr.html" title="madsr"><em class="citetitle">madsr</em></a> uses the <a class="link" href="linsegr.html" title="linsegr"><em class="citetitle">linsegr</em></a> mechanism, and so can be used in MIDI applications. The opcode <span class="emphasis"><em>mxadsr</em></span> is identical to <a class="link" href="madsr.html" title="madsr"><em class="citetitle">madsr</em></a> except it uses exponential, rather than linear, line segments. 
    </p>
        <p>
      You can use other pre-made envelopes which start a release segment upon recieving a note off message, like <a class="link" href="linsegr.html" title="linsegr"><em class="citetitle">linsegr</em></a> and <a class="link" href="expsegr.html" title="expsegr"><em class="citetitle">expsegr</em></a>, or you can construct more complex envelopes using <a class="link" href="xtratim.html" title="xtratim"><em class="citetitle">xtratim</em></a> and <a class="link" href="release.html" title="release"><em class="citetitle">release</em></a>. Note that you don't need to use <a class="link" href="xtratim.html" title="xtratim"><em class="citetitle">xtratim</em></a> if you are using <span class="emphasis"><em>mxadsr</em></span>, since the time is extended automatically.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>mxadsr</em></span> is new in Csound version 3.51.
